Party Chief Spokesperson Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi while condemning the killings of civilians in Pattan, Shopian and Pulwama said, “Such killings lessen the prospective of peace in the valley. I take this opportunity to express my sympathies with the grief stricken families. In this hour of grief the party is in complete unison with the grieved families. No probe is enough to bring back the dead, however I urge the incumbent administration to set the responsibility and bring the offenders to book,”he said adding, “the governor should impress upon the security forces to adhere to proper SOP’s during anti militancy operations.”

Party’s Chief spokesperson also condemned the killing of a PDP worker in shopian. “Killing dissent is a hallmark of weakness. The sanctity of human life is very important that has to be protected and respected by all. I extend my condolences to the grief stricken family and pray for strength to them to bear the loss,” he said.

Srinagar, Mar 22 : The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday alleged that polling stations are being clubbed with an intent to lessen the chances of the participation of larger number of people in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.

As per Kashmir News Service (KNS) correspondent, addressing a press conference in Srinagar, PDP vice president and former minister Abdul Rehman Veeri said that his party has already taken up the issue of clubbing of polling stations in the state with the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) and impressed upon him to create new polling stations wherever necessary to increase the possibilities of the participation of larger number of people in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.

Alleging that even the polling stations created in last assembly elections have been clubbed, Veeri demanded that such polling stations should not be clubbed but allowed to exist at their previous places to ensure that people in large numbers come out for polling in the remote rural areas and demanded that more polling stations should be created at places where people have to travel more than two kilometers to reach their polling stations.
